local.seafdecaqd.extract | Water is life. So, if water is life, then easy access to fresh water is a basic right that each and every person in this world must enjoy. The reality, however, is far from it. United Nations data revealed that 2.2 billion people in the world have no access to safe water. It is an alarming number considering that we are now living in a world that is more technologically advanced than before. If a basic right to clean water could not be guaranteed by governments, how are other rights safeguarded? Pounding this alarm is the UN as it marked last March 22, 2022 as World Water Day. An annual event held since 1993, this year focused on the importance of freshwater, specifically groundwater — an invisible resource with an impact visible everywhere. | en |
